More about Selema bint Jeseera Masradi A Homok Qit Dal Elenk, Sedu'nin (Sr. Initiate) of the Keeryte Sisterhood

A PC in my long-running D&D campaign, one of several I've tinkered with as something of a learning project creating images of places, people, and events. The name is a mouthful, she more or less earned all that over the years. It reflects both some of her accomplishments and the multiple cultures she is a part of. She would usually introduce herself as simply Selema or at most Initiate Selema Masradi unless trying to be formal, which she usually disdains.

Selema belongs to an ancient Sisterhood with many rumored mystical powers from their deep study of martial arts and meditative focus. The most widely known of their supposed powers is the cheerful ability to just ignore both freezing cold and baking heat, which the teachers of their philosophy serenely insist anyone can learn to do with several years of training and proper meditative focus. She *eventually* learned to listen to her long-suffering sensei rather than charging off to the dojo in pursuit of her own focus on learning to trash bozos.

Keerytes are dedicated to the protection of freedom in general, championing and leading the helpless and weak of the world against oppression, and somewhat less openly depending on the situation, a strong focus on the promotion of equality and freedom for women in particular. Their fighting style focuses on speed and precision with fast, acrobatic maneuver mixed with something resembling savate, so they disdain any armor other than things like magical bracers.

This shows her in mid-confrontation with some minor threat to the local settlements around Symbala, the Hidden Refuge of the Sisterhood in a vale somewhere off in mountains of a wilderness area in the process of being reclaimed by the benevolent kingdom of Kamyrie. The Sisterhood has been there far longer than the kingdom but have been allied with the Crown since the foundation of the realm. The focus of the campaign for a good while now has been building up those settlements reclaiming that area Kamyrie lost nearly a thousand years ago. To the surprise of the players, they found tucked away in the mountains not far from where they chose to found a village the almost forgotten to the point of nearly myth headquarters of the Keeryte Sisterhood.

I generated a lot of random faces meeting the description of Selema we'd always had, and went through a lot of back and forth with the player to choose the face he thought best represented her. The clothing is something of a uniform for the Sisterhood. The students are in rich dark blue, and the teachers and masters they call Vowsisters are in a dark green version of the same outfit. Think of a monastery in a martial arts movie and you get a feel for the flavor, with a generous helping of wizardry and divine magic. I've got a Sketchup 3D model of their Hidden Refuge, one of the other little projects I'm tinkering with is turning some of the views out of that into images, too.
